Baldwin County, County in southwestern Alabama, United States
Baldwin County spans 2,027 square miles with 21 percent water area, making it the largest county by area in Alabama with Gulf of Mexico access.
The county was established in 1809 and named after Abraham Baldwin, with Bay Minette becoming the permanent county seat in 1900 after three previous changes.
The region maintains strong connections to local governance through the Baldwin County Commission, which implements programs for community development and resident services.
The county infrastructure includes Interstate 10, Interstate 65, multiple airports, and administrative facilities centered in Bay Minette for government operations.
Residents of Bay Minette orchestrated a strategic plan involving a simulated crime to secure their city's position as the new county seat.
